What Our Editors Thought

“Bold American hops nose with classic notes of citrus and pine. Softer in the sip with subtle caramel notes that intertwine with those C-hop notes for a juicy yet structured barleywine.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Piney forest aromas dominate the nose, with brown sugar, light figs, wet grain. Heavy tones of caramel malt wrapped in vibrant dark-fruit notes. Sweet malt finish with a warming alcohol presence.”

What the Brewers Say

“Features Centennial, Amarillo, Cascade hops, and Maris Otter and English crystal malts.”
